Actor Vijay Varma opens up about embracing vitiligo
Bollywood actor Vijay Varma has shared his personal journey with vitiligo, a condition characterised by white patches on the skin. He reportedly reveals that while he initially worried about the impact of vitiligo on his career, he now embraces the condition. For movie roles, he opts to cover up the patches to avoid distraction, ensuring his focus remains on his performance. However, in public appearances, he chooses to reveal his natural skin. Expert insights reportedly shared by Dr Rinky Kapoor, Consultant Dermatologist at The Esthetic Clinics, Mumbai, offer guidance on managing vitiligo flare-ups. Dr Rinky highlighted the importance of stress reduction through techniques such as meditation and yoga, a diet rich in antioxidants, and proper skin care. Avoiding harsh chemicals and skin injuries, using recommended products, and seeking expert treatment are crucial steps. Support groups can also provide valuable emotional and practical support.
